Building enclosure retrofits are a critical component of decarbonization strategies. Not only are they necessary but they are a significant opportunity for our industry to participate in building a shared low-carbon future. Our esteemed panel will review the complexities involved in building enclosure retrofits, discussing common issues associated with these projects and how to overcome them. They will delve into the planning process and share the typical roadblocks encountered in getting these initiatives off the ground. Case studies will be presented that will detail a range of projects of different scale, outlining patterns and differences observed for different building archetypes. Lastly, our presenters will address the commissioning process that is involved and how success is measured for these projects.  A panel discussion will conclude the session whereby the audience will have the opportunity to ask our experts questions in an open forum.
